Chapter 494: Illusionist, Elven Court
The current situation is that the elves have shown that the artistic background of bullying humans is insufficient, and all the great arcanists can see it, but there is nothing they can do.
Human aesthetics have been deeply influenced by elves for hundreds of years, and even the Grand Arcanist admires elven art.
A silent and oppressive atmosphere permeates this secret chamber, and it is nothing less artistic than the elves, after all, the color mages are practical, and the elves are good, so they can be used.
But the problem is that there are many interests involved in the snowmelt competition, and even many potential crises, not to mention losing a whole project, even losing one, it is unacceptable.
"Remember that little thing we let go of a few years ago?" One of the Grand Arcanists said suddenly.
"What's the little thing?"
"It's that dwarf slave who is proficient in illusion!"
With that, several Grand Arcanists immediately thought of the dwarf slaves they had deliberately let go.
There are a lot of dwarfs living in the Naxi territory, and Naiser also needs these intelligent creatures for mine development, and they are much stronger than any orc slaves with good intelligence!
It's just that these gnomes don't know where they learned elven magic, although it is difficult to develop under the deliberate suppression of the color-resistant mage, but under the oppression of life and death, they focus on illusion magic, hiding themselves and hiding the race.
Some of the dwarf illusionists were amazed even by the Grand Arcanist.
The dwarf slave who was deliberately let go by several Grand Arcanists was a very skilled illusionist, and most importantly, he was quite prestigious among the dwarf community, and the purpose of letting him go was to allow him to gather the gnomes, so that the Chromay Mages would not have to go through the trouble of searching for them.
Just keep an eye on the dwarf illusionist, and when he gathers more people, arrange a sweep, capture some of them, let some of them go, and then continue to catch them when he gathers more next time.
With this method, most of the wild gnomes in the Chromy Territory have been captured as slaves.
Although the illusion of the dwarf is not as full of art as the elves, it is definitely the winner in terms of conforming to nature or whimsy, after all, it is honed in life and death.
The Grand Arcanist wanted the gnomes to play against the elves instead of humans.
The gnome is not considered the enemy of the Chromace, but the Chromace is the enemy of the Gnome, and it has to be said that it is a brain-opening idea to make the gnome fight for the enemy.
However, the pragmatist Grand Arcanists quickly accepted the advice, and it was difficult to win with human mages anyway, so it was better to try it with a dwarf.
"Your Majesty, the [Spell Duel] needs the assistance training of your elven mages, and the [Arcane Mystery] was proposed by you, so you are in charge of these two projects, let's deal with those gnomes."
Princess Thea nodded, "Yes, but [Arcane Mystery] was not proposed by me, but by a pioneer. ”
"Pioneer, is the author of the "Great Xia Territory Standard Pioneer Manual" and the lord of the Great Xia Pioneer Domain, Xia Duo?"
"Yes, that's him."
"Not bad."
After that, there was no more to follow, after all, it was nice enough to make the Grand Arcanist remember the name.
Soon, the seven Grand Arcanists dispersed, and it was less than a month before the snowmelt competition.
……
And in the far east, in the territory of Comanso, deep in the forests of the Akhora Forest.
An area covered by a mysterious barrier, although it has been ravaged by the war, it still survives tenaciously and strives to recover, it looks like a small village, but this is the elven court, and it is also the place where many elven elders retire.
It has also experienced glory in the past, when hundreds of high mages, priests, and nobles stood up and made a proclamation to rebel against the rule of the Arevanda Empire.
Of course, thousands of years have passed, and the splendor of this place has long since ceased, and now it has become a retirement place, and the elders are magnanimous and can play their last bit in the war against Drow, which is an important reason why the crown of Komanso tolerates the continued existence of this place.
However, today, the Elven Court has welcomed many young high-level mages, although their real age is not too young among the elves, but compared to the elven elders, they are still an out-and-out young generation.
The elven court stopped teleporting spells, and Faro and his party walked from outside the barrier to the village inside the barrier, and the members of the organization had already arranged the ceremony scene here in advance.
A large-scale mysterious circle, a cast node poured with Mithril, countless gems of different colors inlaid between the nodes, and all kinds of mysterious symbols looming in the air.
In the distance, several elven elders looked at this place with a smile, their connection with the mortal world had long been broken, and the reason why they stayed in the mortal world was only to give the juniors the last bit of help.
Faro respected these elven elders from the bottom of his heart, bowed from a distance, and then asked the members of the organization who did not attend the ceremony to entertain the elven mages who had come to watch the ceremony.
He himself seriously checked the entire magic circle, this is not a trivial matter, in case of mistakes, even if he is lucky enough to save his life, it will not be easy for the oracle of the main god to be completed, and it will not be so easy to organize the [Omniscient Secret Ceremony] next time.
Fortunately, everything was fine, Faro straightened out his gorgeous robes, stood in the center of the magic circle, and the spell casting node where Mithril was poured, and saw that Faro had started, and the other twelve high-level mages also occupied their own spell casting nodes in turn.
With Faro as the center, there is a cast node on each of the three corners of the surrounding division, and each cast node has three secondary cast nodes.
Equivalent to a division of 1-3-9.
When the thirteen High Mages, including Faro, were all ready, the ceremony officially began.
First, the Faro recited the starting spell and activated the circle with the [Omniscient Secret Instrument], and then the spell changed abruptly, and the other twelve spellcasters also began to recite the spell.
Although each of them only recited the default incantation, when combined, the thirteen voices intertwined to form a complete incantation.
Of course, the secret ritual is not only about spells, but even spells are secondary, and it is fundamentally about the control of the magic web, and the spells only play an auxiliary role, so that the thirteen spellcasters can be coordinated.
The larger the number of participants, the more difficult it is to coordinate and, on the other hand, the more powerful it becomes.
……
With the beginning of the [All-Knowing Secret Ceremony], the wind began to rise around the Elven Court, and even the sky seemed to be darkened, and various incomprehensible mysterious visions continued to emerge around the circle.
The onlookers stayed away from the magic circle one after another, but none of them left, since they came, they must have a certain psychological preparation.
After a while, a light rain fell in the sky, and Farrow and the others were completely unprotected, allowing the raindrops to hit their faces, but the rhythm of the spell was not chaotic at all, and it faintly resonated with the surrounding wind and rain.
It wasn't until half an hour had passed, the wind had stopped, the rain had stopped, and a rainbow had risen from the oak tree not far away, and the most critical moment had been carried out on Faro's side.
All of the previous spell can be understood as the process of casting the spell, and there will be the results after that, which need to be shared by him and the other twelve participants.
Omniscience is not necessarily a good thing, without that capacity, you may be overwhelmed by a huge amount of information at once, Faro's method is to use spells to link the minds of the thirteen high mages together, build a simple thinking model, and incorporate all the information, organize it, and draw conclusions.
In addition, the thinking model should not be complex, too complex will be slow to process, and if it is slow, accidents will occur.
Finally, except for Faro, the spells of the other casters all stopped, and when Faro finished reciting the final ending spell, the circle instantly erupted with a burst of intense light.
This has both invisible magical aura and dazzling visible light, which makes the surrounding elven mages narrow, and some even close their eyes simply to sense the changes in the magic net at the magic circle.
